Errata

Unfortunately errors can still occur in text and patterns that have been tested and checked rigourously. Here are the details and corrections for the ones I am asked about most frequently. If you have found an error in one of my patterns and it isn’t listed here, please do get in touch via the Contact me page and I will do my best to help.
